Shah (English spelling) shāh

Japanese: シャー(英語表記)shāh
Shah (English spelling) shāh
In Early Modern Persian, it means "emperor" or "ruler." It comes from the Old Persian khshāyathiya, and was used by Iranian kings and local rulers, but from the Middle Ages onwards, it was also used in India, Central Asia, Turkey and other countries where Persian was the official language. It is sometimes used in the form pād-shāh (protector king). The title shāhin-shāh used under the Pahlavi dynasty means "king of kings," and comes from the Sassanid shāh-shāh or shāhīn-shāh, which succeeded the Achaemenid khshāyathiya khshāyathiyānām.
